Product Overview

Brass Band Soloists captures the unique voices of the brass family, featuring soprano cornet, cornet, flugelhorn, tenor horn, and euphonium. This library is rooted in the British brass band tradition, offering warm, lyrical tones that are often missing from traditional orchestral libraries.

Details

The library showcases elite players, including notable musicians from leading UK bands, ensuring a high level of expressiveness and realism. Articulations include legato (with and without vibrato), sustain, staccato, and tenuto, with dynamic control based on velocity. The Smart Legato engine allows for seamless transitions between notes, enhancing the natural flow of melodic lines without the need for extensive MIDI editing.

Brass Band Soloists features three microphone positions: Close, Room, and Far, allowing for a range of sonic textures from intimate to expansive. The instrument placement options include In Situ for traditional layouts, Custom Position for flexible placement, and Centre Stereo for a balanced soundstage. This flexibility makes it suitable for various scoring contexts, from lyrical passages to more robust arrangements.
